Now it's hard to believe that you could get sick of sweet things but the array of things available…read moreat the market is jarring at times. That said there aren't as many chocolatiers as there are bun makers (I'm not sure if that's their preferred title but I think it's suitably fitting). This little stall, Holdens Belgian Chocolates is an importing of some of Belgian's finest little sugary exports. I would say that its fine brewing heritage would take precedent in my opinion but Belgian is also always going to be famous for its chocolate (that and its less well known as the only country in the world with a fully illuminated motorway system) I sampled a couple of the chocolates on offer, the first being an orange praline with dark chocolate. Orange and chocolate will always be a fantastic combination and this devilishly bitter morsel is no exception. I also had a go at a coffee ganache. It was brilliant, not the usual coffee flavouring but a richer smokier flavour akin to actual coffee as opposed to the ones you fine in a box of Roses (or Quality Street, I can't remember) There's a fantastic range available, from white to dark, marzipan (shudder) to minted milk. You can get a selection in boxes of eight or buy larger gift boxes too. Although it's a seriously over used phrase this is certainly one of the chocaholics among you.

Well that was a nice surprise!!

The man who was taking the workshop-one of Aunt Sandra's nephews, calling himself Willy Wonka's cousin, was hilarious! The workshop was bunged but he took the time to speak to every group individually and made everyone feel involved. I'd highly recommend this to anybody who like sweets, history and a good laugh. It's suitable for all ages and interests. Along with us were family groups, older couples and a hen party (which I thought was fab!) So sad to hear Aunt Sandra has passed away.

Great customer service in here…read more Loved the wee story I got about the crisps chocolate on my last visit. I like being able to see the sweet making in action through their work room window. Had a toffee apple today. Was nice and fresh and packaging wasn't all sticky. Also good stick didn't fall out. Toffee was a bit think so took a good strong bite. Perhaps would have been better smashed against a table first. Lol

I was walking around Belfast City Centre and stumbled upon this gem of a shop! I grabbed a hot…read morechocolate to-go so I could sip on it and have a photo shoot with it around the city. The staff is friendly and the environment is very clean and inviting. The place was packed guessing by its popularity in the area. There are many tables to sit at and also a gift shop sort of section where you can buy chocolate boxes. The hot chocolate drink was VERY rich as expected and satisfied my cocoa craving.

I go for Milk 50% and I could opt for a range of choice like dark 70% or mint or chilli and so on. The chocolate whip atop presents a challenge as one must get to the table before the weight of the whip pressing down on the liquid Chocolat forces the chocolate to spill over out of the cup. So much for surface tension versus gravity at .7 and all the other laws of physics at play here it's still after all a cup of hot chocolate albeit a very tasty cup of hot chocolate. The staff no doubt too low paid are a cheerful crew sadly in a country deliberately made miserable by tories who seem to relish in making people earn their poverty while finding even more money to pay themselves. An MP can now count on an annual salary with expenses circa £200k. The hot chocolate isn't the only mug I'm looking at.

Among other things there is high quality bacon and locally produced smoked salmon. All sortsof specialised ingredients are likely to be here with things you don't find often such as the Canadian Clover Crest honey which I bought. The only trouble for me is that Arcadia is so far away up the traffic laden Lisburn Road though the longish opening hours are helpful. Mind you, perhaps it is just as well as I'd be overspending far too much.

Arcadia is quite possibly one of the best finds I have had the pleasure of discovering while…read morewriting my reviews. I'm not up on my deli / speciality foods, nor do I know my Perches from my Pollocks (apparently types of fish...yeah, I didn't know that either) but even I realised the extent of Arcadia's wonderfulness. Plus they sell American sweets. No longer was I interested in the Snappers or the Sea Breams (yep, more fish), the Gruyere or the Gouda (cheese this time)...I eyes were solely fixed on the sweetie selection. Picking up a packet of peanut butter M&Ms (I don't like peanut butter, nor do I like M&Ms), the feeling of the novelty of purchasing something that is so highly sought after over here overcame me. And so, they were bought for the grand price of £1.49. My sister, on the other hand, eyes popping out of her head, was visibly distressed by the varied and unusual choice of confectionery which lay before her. Well, Willy Wonka was the lucky man this particular day, and she selected a packet of 'Wonka Nerds'. And now I am officially going to immigrate to the USA. Ohhh, these are good. These are really, really good. Tiny drops of wild cherry and watermelon explode with flavour the moment you pop them in your mouth and start chewing.

A wall of cheap plastic gums just isn't my bag of sweets.
